Bumped but breathing…
It’s been almost 48 hours since I got hit by the car.
I had acupuncture yesterday that helped reduce the pain of walking, but I still hobble badly, even with a makeshift cane. It’s made out of an old unipod I had lying around doing nothing. I probably look a bit weird walking around using photography equipment to support myself, but it works for the time being.
I can’t walk unaided yet, but there is less pain every day in my knee. Oddly, there is more in my shoulders, but I suspect that’s because they’re getting a workout by carrying some of the load. Advil helps dull that. I was offered stronger stuff, but it only makes me loopy and doesn’t help the pain. I figure I’m out of it enough. The other odd thing is the amount of sleep I’m needing. I’m taking a 1.5-hour nap in the morning and another 2-hour nap in the afternoon. I can also almost sleep the night through, so I guess all the sleep is promoting healing.
Anyway, that’s where I am. Every day a bit better. How are y’all doin’?
my brother I had no idea I hope you are ok and getting better every minute of every day ….he best thing to do is rest my friend take it easy for a little bit and when you are ready get busy…let me know if I can do anything to help
You need a bell or horn on your bike! Stay safe.
I won’t be riding for a while, but for the record, I had a bell, a horn, and blinky lights fore and aft. It was broad daylight, so the blinky lights would have done no good and I had no time to react and use the horn.
Apparently you need a bull horn! Worry meter still at 25%.
I think you can knock it down to 20%, Mom. 🙂
Done!
Hope you continue to improve Chris. *hugs
Geeze! Just because I don’t come over to share some scotch doesn’t mean you have to get yourself hurt! Feel better bud. Speedy recovery.
That’s just crazy. I hope the driver at least stopped. Get that knee looked at, knees are nothing to mess around with, just ask Rich Brooks. Heal quickly, sorry to hear about this.
Wow
Hope you’re okay. We are currently shopping for bikes, plan on only taking the trails.

Hope you are better today. Can I turn the worry meter down to 15%?
From now on, keep the rubber side down.
Getting a little better each day. 15% is good. Maybe even 14%…
Hope your ok ! how did the car make out?
The car was surprisingly unscathed. It was a smaller Chevy SUV of some sort.
Can I put the meter down to 10%?
I think so. Did a little shopping today. Thank goodness one can lean on carts.
